all right so we just heard a sound pointing to what he sees as president obama being hypocritical when he sees when he advocates free speech in the middle east why does he think the president is using the arab spring for political gain well it is obvious he is trying to use it for political gain because he's a politician and is a hypocrite because if you look at how the u.s. was supporting dictators that were overthrown ben ali regime in tunisia and mubarak going egypt they were had full support of the u.s. government up until the last moment when it was obvious that they would be pushed aside by the popular uprising in this region and they even tried to have a. who would succeed mubarak in egypt in their. prime candidates was that was the one who had been overseeing the torture chambers and through mubarak regime so of course it's hypocrisy to try to claim some credit and support for the awakening and want to get to a meeting an important meeting that took place today between the foreign secretary william hague and his ecuadorian counterpart was there any progress made in this diploma
